Tourism Review Online Magazine 4 / 2008

Mar 31, 2008
Dear readers,

Welcome to the spring issue of Tourism Review Online Magazine. Ever thought about space travel, space walking or experiencing zero G? This is no sci-fi any more. Read the Adventure part and learn about the newest advancements in the orbital and sub-orbital flights offered to tourists. Flying is also the topic of the Transport section presenting the latest trends in the popular in-flight advertising. Not quite cheap – see the rates – but highly effective promotion.
The new and emerging markets are always interesting for hoteliers seeking untouched grounds for their enterprises. The Professional supplement introduces the Asian region, Central Europe or even Mexico as the developing markets popular with hospitality stakeholders. Accessible tourism – in Europe, Asia and any where else – is the focus of the Ethical section. How many of the disabled tourists are there really? What do they need? How should we help them when traveling? Come and find the answers. But first ... what about some good movie ... it might be even online. Read the Heritage supplement not only about the first ever online film festival.
